Where a succession devolving to a wife is damnosa, or doubtful, so that the wife abstains and does not enter, the husband's acquisitors of the debts are not presumed to be for the wife's behoof, but for the husband's own behoof, and such a succession found to be no sufficient cause for an additional remuneratory provision, which was therefore reduced in time coming in competition with creditors.
